I believe the screen it be the same panel as in the Fuji X Pro 1. The RX100 also has a better screen with RGBW (Sony dub this technology Whitemagic – see explanation over at DPReview) 1229k resolution – again a first for a compact camera. Neither the S100 or G1X have manual control in video mode so the RX100 is viable as a filmmaker’s tool as well. It complete blows away the S100 in low light and for overall image quality. It packs a much larger sensor and 1080/60p in video mode. Very price conscious consumers might not be ready to pay double for what is clearly a better camera. The RX100 packs in DSLR quality to the same space as the S100 but not the same price. It also has a tiny optical view finder though I personally find it absolutely useless.Ĭompared to – High end small sensor compacts – Canon S100, Fuji X10, Panasonic LX5, etc. It has a built in ND filter and articulated screen. The build and size of the RX100 is far superior, and it is half as heavy (213g to 390g) to lug around. The G1X does have a few areas where it is better specified but not many. On the RX100 manual focus is done with a very smooth rotating front ring with peaking (yes – peaking! On a compact!), whilst it is a hassle on the G1X with a tiny wheel at the rear and on-screen guide range.ĪF is far faster on the Sony as well as more reliable. It’s a big difference in optical technology on display and the lens is the RX100’s secret weapon. Bluntly the fast focussing, smaller, brighter lens on the RX100 makes the G1X’s lens look like it was designed a couple of years ago by a much lesser company than Canon. This is true throughout the range but the biggest difference is at the wide end where the ‘micro Zeiss’ is over a stop brighter at F1.8. This is because the RX100 makes up for the smaller sensor with a faster aperture. The sensor in the G1X is a 2x crop 1.5 inch CMOS. Larger than the 2.7x crop 1 inch CMOS in the RX100 – but actually there’s no real shallow depth of field advantage to be had. The RX100 is a better all-rounder than all of these cameras and significantly smaller (with lens) than any current mirrorless offering. Say goodbye to your Canon S100, Fuji X10, Canon G1X, Nikon 1, Olympus PEN, Lumix GF3 with X power zoom. The number of rival cameras the RX100 completely destroys is quite astonishing. It also has a continuously variable silent aperture which can be assigned to the clickless focus ring and adjusted mid-shot. Manual controls have been added in video mode – a rare thing indeed to see on a compact camera. This has not been done with a direct replacement (the HX20v is an evolutionary follow up) but rather by a large sensor compact with raw. ‘Micro Zeiss’ at F1.8 gives incredible shallow DOF for a compact Now Sony have stepped the HX9v up a level. Resolution in video mode was bettered only by the Panasonic GH2 of the current crop of affordable digital cinema cameras, with significantly less ‘nasties’ like moire than on a Canon Rebel – the HX9v punched well above its weight. 1080/60p for the first time on a compact, an impressive stabiliser on a way above average Sony G lens. Last year I found the Sony HX9v was a great leap forward for a compact as well. Advanced propriety technology fresh from the lab which is too complicated and delicate to have manufactured outside the lab itself. This speaks volume about Sony’s approach to this camera. The RX100 bares a striking piece of text on the base. This should give you an idea of what a monumental achievement the technology of the RX100 is.īerlin Museum Island corridor shot on the RX100 Would I consider intercutting RX100 footage with 1080p from a pro Super 35mm cinema camera? Yes I would. The RX100 is a camera that fits in your jeans pocket. Buy the RX100 at Adorama or Buy the RX100 on eBay
